Prison Rape Elimination

The Washington County Jail has established
a "Zero Tolerance" for inmate sexual assault/abuse
and will make every effort to provide all inmates with a safe,
humane and secure environment, free from the threat of sexual
assault/abuse and staff sexual misconduct/harassment.

Incidents or suspicions of Sexual Abuse, Sexual Harassment and
Retaliation can be reported to ANY STAFF MEMBER verbally
or in writing.

Inmates shall be given the opportunity to remain anonymous upon
request to the outside agency. There will be NO
retaliation for reporting incidents of sexual abuse or harassment.

Family and friends can report allegations of sexual abuse, sexual
harassment, and retaliation on behalf of an inmate by calling
740-376-7070, ext. 0; by e-mailing info@wcso84.us; or by writing
a letter to the Washington County Victim Services at 205 Putnam
Street, Marietta, OH 45750.

In compliance with Section 115.389 of the PREA Standards, the
Washington County Jail will make all aggregated sexual abuse
data readily available to the public at least annually.
